“Finergy, has been put together and produced by a literally self motivated and enduring team. It was a true pleasure incorporating all innovative ideas systematically, to keep participants busy for a month! It was exceedingly bewildering to have witnessed the participation from across India in such exceptional numbers. We look forward to put up more such successful events in the future, as the opportunity, I believe to be provided and grasped is unlimited! Nothing beats drooling over a marvellous working culture within the team”, said Prekshita Patwa President, SRCC FIC.

Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies to get a new campus

By Sidhant R. Seth November 5, 2014

The day is not too far when Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies shall boast of a new campus. Reports have stated that CBS would be shifting to a new location. Recently, the foundation stone had been laid. Currently, CBS is situated in Jhilmil Colony (Vivek Vihar) in East Delhi and the proposed campus is in Rohini in North-West Delhi. The distance via metro between the current campus and the proposed is approximately 35 minutes.

Sources have even suggested that there may be a hostel facility in the new campus; this might encourage more outstation station students to apply to the college. It is believed that the hostel may have 130 rooms.

On the other side, Raghav Chopra, a student of CBS has a different viewpoint regarding the shifting of the campus. He says, “First, as the Foundation stone has been laid quite recently, it should take a few years before CBS boasts about a new campus.” When asked about the expectations and any changes that the future CBS aspirants may face; he added, “Students at CBS are accustomed to a smaller campus. Due to this fact we know how to work with limited resources and yet bring out extraordinary results. Unfortunately, the future batch may not be able to experience this situation”.
